Topics: • Storage services network traffic • Link Aggregation Control Protocol requirements • VLAN requirements for Storage networks • Storage network IP address requirements for adding storage services Storage services network traffic All of the storage services traffic is routed from PowerStore T model appliance node ports through the two Top-of-Rack (ToR) switches. PowerStore T model requires that all storage service networks are unique. It is recommended that each storage network be configured on a dedicated port meeting the port requirements demonstrated in the following example. NOTE: It is important to note for PowerStore 500T model appliances ports 2 and 3 on the 4-port card are reserved for connectivity to the expansion enclosures.

Network requirements for deployments with
storage services
This chapter contains the following information.
Topics:
•
Storage services network traffic
•
Link Aggregation Control Protocol requirements
•
VLAN requirements for Storage networks
•
Storage network IP address requirements for adding storage services
Storage services network traffic
All of the storage services traffic is routed from PowerStore T model appliance node ports through the two Top-of-Rack (ToR)
switches.
PowerStore T model requires that all storage service networks are unique. It is recommended that each storage network be
configured on a dedicated port meeting the port requirements demonstrated in the following example.
NOTE:
It is important to note for PowerStore 500T model appliances ports 2 and 3 on the 4-port card are reserved for
connectivity to the expansion enclosures.
PowerStore T model network connectivity for optional Block-optimized
networks
The following networks can be configured for the Block-optimized deployment options which require the Top-of-Rack switches.
